Community Health Fair a success
The large turnout of citizens to the Central Sorting Office’s health fair is a credit to its success.
The event, held last December in the car park at the postal service’s headquarters, was sponsored by private sector entities.

It established how appreciative community members were of efforts to encourage harmony among persons from different areas, as everyone enjoyed the displays, entertainment and the jovial vibe.

Thanks to the major sponsors: Councillor Desmond Bailey, Grace Kennedy, Madden’s Funeral Supplies, Broadbent Ja, Body Accents, Henkel Jamaica, Jamaica Biscuit Co, and Lasco.


Mail on fast track
Acting Postmaster General, Michael Gentles, said recently that many persons who reside in the Kingston Metropolitan Region (KMR) have noticed that they get their mail well within the ‘Day Plus Two’ standard established for mail within that area.

The postal service intends to further advance mail operations to enable an islandwide ‘Day Plus Two’ standard (‘Day’ being the day on which the item is posted).

Satisfactory Mail Delivery
Mr Gentles said: “Customer feedback reveals that most postal zones across the island have been experiencing satisfactory mail delivery. It is indeed rare when our customers take the time to make a positive statement in the news media. Thus the Letter to the Editor that was published in the Gleaner on Monday January 2 was a timely morale booster and is sincerely appreciated.
We thank the writer for encouragement and hope that other customers will also affirm such satisfactory experiences”.

Acting Deputy Postmaster General, Mrs Glennamoe McNabb, who now has responsibility for maintaining quality control in the mail delivery system, is confident that current levels of mail efficiency will persist despite the usual surge in mail volume at Christmas time.
